It sounds interesting though. Pardrith is right, you shouldn't be embarrassed. I'vens considered scolding his bronze for butting in, especially since it felt like the dragonet was responding to a private conversation. Instead he just turned to Ch'es and said, "That sounds interesting. I used to go hunting when I was younger."
His uncle scoffed. "Younger? You mean like last year when you and my two oldest boys took the horses out and chased down boars with spears?" I'vens rolled his eyes and blushed slightly but managed to hide it easily enough. "I guess it didn't feel the same as hunting with a bow," he said. Truthfully he just didn't want to think about what else had happened on that particular trip, especially considering why he was there in the first place. We're here because we were poisoned, Sherekhath patiently reminded him.
If Habraxel thought anything was odd about the comment, if he'd even heard it, he didn't say. I'vens tried to move the conversation on a bit, and just said, "Maybe we can go hunting sometime after we graduate." There. Topic neatly and tidily closed without any opportunity for his uncle to try and encourage them to do anything since there was the subtle reminder they couldn't until after they graduated anyway.
Not that his uncle didn't try anyway. "Well if they ever allow you a little break or field trip you both are welcome to go hunting in Igen. It's good to see that my nephew has a talented friend with such a fierce protector." I'vens made a note to apologize to Ch'es later for having accidentally dragged him into some sort of friendship.
Seemingly satisfied that his nephew was doing better, Habraxel leaned down to give I'vens another quick pat and some whispered words of encouragement. "And your friend is cute enough, do try to recover quickly and have a bit of fun. I'll try and visit some other time perhaps." Straightening up he called for his mistress before leaving the boys.
I'vens waited until he was quite sure the man was gone before turning to Ch'es. "So... sorry about that... my uncle can be a bit much."
